Major catch-up time (or not)

Sorry about this, I've totally flopped in posting. I've been really busy and stressed lately, mostly about homework (evil PT and her end-of-year projects!). So here I am again, racking my brain about what to post of the last few weeks.

The day after I last posted (the 28th) was my birthday. Happy birthday to me, yeah yeah yeah... I got some nice gifts, had some fun, etc. My birthday cake was a cheesecake =D
One of the best gifts I got was an $100 gift certificate for the iTunes store. =D I've been buying like crazy since then, but still have $73 left, lol!

The rest of the days have been regular, except for irregular amounts of homework. Nothing to report, except that I have managed to remain with A's in every class. I can't wait until next year. *rolls eyes*

While typing, I remembered that I still hadn't put those pictures I promised on here. Oh, well. I'll do it tomorrow. =P

EDIT: Since I am very bored right now and there is nothing else to do (apart from some unnecessary homework which I am very bored with =P ) I will give descriptions of my homework projects. You may now wish to proceed to the bottom of the post and skip over this terribly boring few paragraphs. For your convenience, I've changed everything you should skip over into gray.

First, we had to create a feudalistic society. And we had to be creative and come up with silly things! The example PT showed us was called "Fruitopia" and it was a whole bunch of fruits living in a feudalistic society. My friend AL did "Evil Vegetables." Someone else did Pencils. I was so uninspired. I had no ideas, so I had to do the whole thing the weekend before it was due. I ended up getting an 88% on it, which I am happy with (since it keeps my grade at a 95%).

We also had to find and draw our/a coat of arms. I am at the moment finishing mine, which I did on my grandmother's maiden name. My name nor my mom's name worked. It wasn't quite as bad as Create Feudalism, but did it have to be at the end of the year?

Earlier in the year, we had made picture books based on Greek myths. Last Thursday, we actually had to go to an elementary school and read them to first graders. I would have preferred (sp?) to never see my book again. It wasn't actually that bad, but still...

And last but not least, the rockets. I mentioned them in an eariler post. The rockets themselves are actually kind of fun, I hate to admit, but we also have to do an assignment along with them. Correction: 3 assignments. I have two of them finished. I'm thinking of working on the other one, but I think I've decided to put it off until tomorrow. =P Nothing more, since even I'm getting bored of this by now.

If you need some nice music to listen to, go to Moya Brennan's MySpace page. All four songs on there are really nice, but especially Peace Has Broken Out and Molly Fair (I'm listening to the latter right now). The link is to the right. ;)
EDIT2: Oh no! Peace Has Broken Out is gone! =(
I guess this is what iTunes is for, especially if you have a $73 credit =)

So I guess this will be one of those very short posts, and I'm sure I'll think of 1,000 other things to put on here later. Bye. =P

Oh, and does anyone know if it's legal for me to put whole songs as background music on this site?

Hi TT, I really enjoyed this post. I didn't get to read it for a while because blogspot has been blocked by China AGAIN! I know how hard it can be to produce creativity on demand. But hey, if you ever want to chat about ideas for school assignments--I guess next year--you can always skype me. I love to hear about it. I think it's especially funny that you put it in grey--probably because it's a "boring" color, right? :D Congrats on surviving another year of homework! Cheers, --Z.

Lol, thanks. I actually put it in gray so it would be harder to read. :P

I deleted my first comment because I didn't like it, but it says 'comment deleted.' Will it go away sometime?
